This training session covers parametric modelling techniques within CAESES along with its capabilities for process automation and shape optimization. A marine propeller will be investigated in steady-state, open-water condition using cfMesh for automated grid generation and a simpleFoam solver. A design space exploration allows convenient automation of studies on domain size and grid resolution and provides valuable insight into the propulsive characteristics of different geometry variants. Based on a Response Surface Model a subsequent optimization will be demonstrated in the search for maximum open-water efficiency. Attendees should bring a basic understanding of OpenFOAM as well as a fundamental knowledge of surrogate modelling techniques. No hands-on required.
